Man accused of fondling woman in park

A Springfield man was arrested after he allegedly fondled a woman in Washington Park Monday night.

Tanner Little, 23, of the 3100 block of Concordia Drive was reportedly intoxicated when he arrived at the park about 8 p.m. He approached two women at the playground, forced his way in between them and made unwanted sexual advances, according to a Springfield Park Police press release.

The two women walked away and started to call police.

Little then approached a family consisting of a man, a woman and two young children. He allegedly smacked the woman on the buttocks and fondled her buttocks. The woman screamed, and the husband attempted to detain Little.

Police located Little a few blocks away, where he allegedly was involved in another disturbance with two other women.
